Biography
In 47 BCE, the Medjay, Bayek of Siwa, met with Diocles in Cyrene, having been directed to him by Praxilla, a childhood friend of the latter. Diocles informed Bayek that the target he was looking for, Flavius Metellus, ruled the city from the Roman Akropolis, wishing him luck in his quest. He later informed Bayek to seek him out to deal with Leander, a corrupt magistrate in the city.[1]
After Flavius's assassination, Bayek sought out Diocles just like he asked, meeting him in the Agora in the city. Diocles explained to Bayek the details regarding Leander, who had allied himself with Flavius, providing him absolute power in the city. Anyone who turned against him were either bribed or threatened, leading Diocles to plan a form of action. Diocles requested Bayek to locate his fellow magistrate Simonides, who had attended an event at Leander's villa in search of evidence of the magsitrate's corruption, but had yet to return. Suspecting that Simonides was most likely at a brothel or a tavern in the city, he directed Bayek to search for him and bring him to his home near the Cyrene Gladiator Arena.[2]
Bayek found a drunken Simonides outside the tavern and brought him back to Diocles's home. Diocles proved to be correct as Simonides was unable to recover the document listing Leander's corruption. Bayek stepped in and offered to help them recover the evidence, allowing Diocles to petition the other magistrates against Leander, in hopes of forcing him to stand down. While Bayek was at the villa, Diocles recruited the magistrates and gathered in the Apollonion of Cyrene, where they planned to use the evidence against Leander. Unbeknownst to him, Leander had planned to have them assassinated and gathered his men in an attempt to ambush the magistrates. However, Bayek was able to arrive just in time to defend Diocles and the magistrates. Leander and his men were defeated and eliminated, thus eliminating Flavius' influence in Cyrenaica.[2]
Later that year, Diocles and Praxilla wed.
